A native of
the Boston area, tenor saxophonist Casey Berman continues to rise in the ranks
of the New York scene. Raised by a guitarist and an interior designer, Casey
has always been immersed in the arts.
His formal music training began at the age of six, when he attended
theory and solfege lessons at the Longy School of Music. In high school Casey
went to the prestigious Rivers School Conservatory program, which afforded him
opportunities to take classes and master-classes with professors from Berklee
School of Music and the preparatory program at New England Conservatory.

Casey currently resides in New
York and studies in the jazz program at NYU.
He has played in clubs such as the Blue Note, the Jazz Gallery, the
Regattabar and Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola. He has worked closely with many of NYU’s
distinguished faculty members, including Dave Pietro, Ralph Alessi, Joe Lovano, Kenny Werner and Mark Turner. Casey leads his own
trio with his brother Elliot Berman on bass and Evan Hughes on drums. He’s often writing music for Swim Team, a band that he co-leads with Elliot and
peers Mike Sink and Tim Merle.
